Title: Registration calculation between three-dimensional (3D) scans based on two-dimensional (2D) scan data from a 3D scanner
Inventor: Oliver Zweigle
IPC: G01S7/497
Filed: 2016-10-07
Abstract: A 3D scanner is fixed in a first registration position where it creates 3-d image of an object on the basis of lidar angular and range (distance) measurements (spherical polar coordinates). The scanner is then fixed in elevation but not azimuth, and creates a horizontal 2-d image. As it moves it creates further 2-d images. Finally a 3-d image is created at a second fixed position. The 2-d images are matched easily and quickly to give a total translation (linear movement) of the scanner in two direction and a rotation of the scanner whilst the scanner is being moved to a third position. This enables the two 3-d images to be combined into a composite 3-d image. Movement of the scanner can be computer controlled. If the match of any 2-d images is poor, the user is notified.

Title: Threat control method and system
Inventor: MATTI AKSELA
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2018-11-14
Abstract: A method and system to provide threat control. The system comprises a system security network (SSN) and a network of nodes each with a security agent module. The security agents establish an internal swarm intelligence network, S201, collect respective node data and share it within the swarm network, S202/S203, such that models relating to nodes may be generated/adapted, S204. The swarm network and a centre node are alerted when a known threat is detected and threat responses are activated, S206. For new threats, a new model is generated which is shared with the swarm network and the centre node S207. The centre node forwards alerts and/or threat models to the SSN, S208, which shares the alert/new threat model with other external networks and takes further action on the basis of the alert/new model. The SSN then sends an instruction to evolve the behaviour of the security agents for detection of and/or responding to such security threats. Meta-learning models may be utilised to share high-level representations of learned information. Information may also be shared by using a language model interpretable by artificial intelligence and by humans. The agents may replicate themselves and generate new virtual agents when necessary.
